Im merely a dreamer, and then a writer, and my happiest moments are when I'm a reader.

Many of the characters are fools and they're always playing tricks on me and treating me badly.

If I were asked to name the chief event in my life, I should say my father's library.

What a writer wants to do is not what he does.

Writing is nothing more than a guided dream.

His life, measured in space and time, will take up a mere few lines, which my ignorance will abbreviate further.

All literature, is, finally autobiographical.
